AFWERX PRIME INNOVATIVE CAPABILITIES OPENING

The AFWERX PRIME INNOVATIVE CAPABILITIES OPENING (ICO) is a competitive solicitation for prototype and fielding projects. The purpose of this ICO is to provide an overarching solicitation structure for future Calls, which will detail specific areas of interest, submission instructions, timelines, and points of contact. The ICO will remain open until the AFWERX Prime program has no further requirements. • The ICO will be used to award Other Transactions for Prototype Project (OTP) agreements under 10 U.S.C. § 4022. • The ICO is open to all eligible entities, including non-traditional defense contractors, small businesses, and nonprofit research institutions. • The Government reserves the right to select all, some, or none of the solution submissions submitted in response to the applicable Call. • Awards will be made based on the availability of funds, and the Government may negotiate a follow-on procurement contract or OT for production or solution integration with or without further competition.
